Product Description

The Copiapoa cinerea var. albispina is a distinctive cactus variety known for its striking white spines that contrast beautifully with its grayish-green epidermis. This cactus typically has a globular to slightly cylindrical shape, with a surface often covered by a waxy coating, protecting it from the intense sun and arid conditions of its native Atacama Desert in Chile. The ribs are prominent, each lined with clusters of short, white spines. Occasionally, this cactus produces small, bright yellow flowers that bloom at the top, adding a vibrant touch to its subdued color palette. The Copiapoa cinerea var. albispina is highly prized by collectors for its unique appearance and its ability to thrive in harsh conditions.
